Day 259

259/365, originally uploaded by Aaron LaRue.

Today was my 21st birthday. This is my first legal beer. it was a 22oz Anchor Steam and it was delicious.  

I kind of got shafted because my birthday fell on the Monday of dead week, so everyone (including myself) was finishing papers and prepping for finals. Still, I had an awesome day. I met my parents for lunch in Ventura and got to spend some time with them. Then after handling some stuff and going to class, I went to Gio's with some of my friends to get pitchers. 


It was here that I got iced. I had been celebrating for a while at that point, and I was generally pretty happy with my life (thanks for that, Kira!). For those of you who don't know, icing is a game that involves drinking Smirnoff Ices. They are girly wine coolers that are generally unpleasant. Someone (the Icer) presents another person (the Icee) with said drink in a creative manner, and then the Icee has to get on one knee and chug it as fast as possible. The Icee cannot leave his knee until the drink is gone. 


Jaimie, being the good friend that she is, got the biggest ice she could find. Then she took my camera and waited until I wasn't paying attention. She took pictures of herself and my other friend Erin making funny faces, and then took this picture:




Then she waited for a bit and handed me my camera back. "Look at the pictures we took," she slyly said to me. I started scrolling through them, and then I saw the ice. Then I realized that it was in her lap. Then I looked up and she handed it to me. My heart sank. It was easily one of the smoothest icings I have seen in person. 





It took me forever to drink, and they enjoyed every ounce of it. Keni celebrated by looking like a gremlin.
